Beschreibung
Psychiatry rests on the belief that mental distress can ultimately be explained by biology: brain structures, chemical imbalances and genetics. Treatments from lobotomies to electroconvulsive therapy to prescription drugs have been touted as cures for 'disorder'. And somewhere along the way, the pharmaceutical industry has leapfrogged its patients, making millions designing drugs to treat disorders, then billions dreaming up disorders that require drugs.
We are now diagnosed and treated for mental disorders more than ever, despite increasing evidence that environmental factors play a far greater role than biological ones. Laying out the steps for a mental health system that helps rather than harms, Marieke Bigg asks: how can we heal when faced with an industry that banks on keeping us sick?
Rezensionen
<p><b>Praise for <i>This Won't Hurt:</i></b><br>'
If you get a chance to read this - Do! An eye-opening brilliant work of passion
A hugely informative and quietly furious call to arms
A shocking and powerful critique, this is essential reading for everyone interested in mental health, how the mind works, and how psychiatry could become a force for social change.
Adroitly skewers psychiatry's tendency to pathologise behaviours considered "abnormal"
Psychiatry has been a lifeline for many, providing essential tools and interventions, but it is not the whole story. By highlighting alternative approaches and perspectives, this book challenges us to think more broadly about the complexities of mental health and about how we can truly support people at their most vulnerable moments with a more holistic understanding of wellbeing and distress
A rallying cry for an approach to mental health that is informed by the circumstances, experiences, and diversity of those of us who struggle. I have never read a clearer case for the importance of social and systemic approaches to psychiatric distress
A vital subject that needs to be discussed
Brilliant...There is so much to unlearn, there is so much that also follows in terms of how medicine could support - rather than fail - half the world'
